Embraer Phenom 100

The Embraer Phenom 100 is a very light twin-engine jet that is produced by Embraer. It was developed from scratch as Embraer’s first Light jet.

Embraer’s larger aircraft models have automated and simplified systems, rugged construction, and the ability to fix failures quickly when they do occur. These features are designed into the Phenom as well.

The Phenom 100 is approved for single-pilot flights.

As of April 2017, 44% of Phenom 100 aircraft in operation were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 56% new. 12.1% are for sale with the majority of those (78%) under an exclusive broker agreement.

When for sale, the average time on the market is 229 days.

In 2005 Embraer announced that it would begin the development of Light Jets and at the NBAA annual convention in November 2005 Embraer announced that the light jet would be called the Phenom 100. The Phenom 100 first flew on July 26, 2007.

It was awarded a type certificate from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority on December 9 2008 and the first aircraft was delivered days later on December 24, 2008. A total

The Phenom 100 is also powerful. Two Pratt and Whitney PW617F-E engines power the Phenom 100, providing a thrust for the take-off of 1,695 pounds each.

These engines employ a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electrical Control) system, making them extremely efficient and simple in flight. The engine inspection interval is 3,500 hours.

The Phenom 100 has a comfortable range of 1,160 nautical miles and can climb to 37,000 feet in just 23 minutes. It may be classified as a very light private jet, but the Phenom 100 is competitive with larger private jets in performance and space.

Its high-speed cruise of 380 knots true airspeed trumps all close competitors.

The interior of the Phenom 100 is surprising for its size as well. Measurements are 11 ft long, 4’11’’ high, and 5’1’’ wide.

The jet boasts 305 cubic feet of total cabin volume and 55 cubic feet of baggage capacity.

The design of the cabin is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. It features large leather seats that include armrests, power outlets, and multiple controls at your fingertips, and nice-looking wood finishing that is consistent throughout.

The Phenom’s interior can be configured using seven pre-defined factory options. It is able to accommodate four passengers and a single pilot, this small private jet is ideal for individuals or small companies.

Based on Garmin’s G1000, the Phenom 100’s Embraer Prodigy all-glass avionics suite features three displays: two primary flight displays (PFD) and one multi-function display (MFD). All information is integrated onto high-definition/color resolution screens.

The system is built with the pilot in mind, placing all aircraft monitoring, situational awareness, and flight-planning tools at their fingertips. The GFC 700, an innovative Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), is the Phenom’s fully digital, dual-channel, three-axis autopilot system.

The cost to charter this jet starts at around $2,500 an hour. Hourly charter rates do not include all taxes, fuel, and other fees.

Charter costs will vary based on year of make/model, schedule, routing, passenger & baggage totals, and other factors.
